Hello Anonymous,

Oral contraceptives work by preventing ovulation. The daily dose of hormones keep levels constant. Once you stop taking the active pills, hormonal levels drop and withdrawal bleeding happens.

Missing two doses of active pills caused a drop significant enough to trigger bleeding. Continue taking the pills as directed.

Confirm my explanation with your gynecologist.

Regards,
Maryann
